A
Explanation
Lanak La is a high-altitude mountain pass located in the Aksai Chin region of Ladakh. It serves as a vital link between Ladakh and Lhasa, the capital of Tibet [2]. Historically, it was a significant route for trade and travel between these regions. The Chinese government has since constructed a road through this pass to connect the Xinjiang province with Tibet. In contrast, the other options are located elsewhere: the Burzil Pass connects the Kashmir Valley with the Deosai Plains of Ladakh [1], the Babusar Pass links the Kaghan Valley with Chilas in Pakistan, and the Khyber Pass is a famous mountain pass connecting Afghanistan and Pakistan. Therefore, Lanak La is the specific pass that links Lhasa with Ladakh [2].
